Did a price comparison on paint this week for some cabinets in the garage.
MagnaMax from the local real paint store 30 bucks a gallon.
Crap from Home Despot or Sears, 30 bucks a gallon.
Well, that decision was easy.
Add a few bucks and go for Aura by Benjamin Moore. Goes further,
doesn't need primer, two coats and Bob's your uncle. An absolute treat
to work with. Maybe a bit of overkill for garage cabs.
The extra coverage almost makes up for the price—too close to matter.
Last time I bought "good" paint from Sherwin Williams, the store manager
suggested Penetrol Paint Conditioner. The stuff is amazing... I'll never
paint (w/good or bad paint) without it again.
You like your paint to flow, do you? Yeah, good stuff.
